     Authority, add the following section (g) and reletter all the 
     following subsections accordingly:
       ``(g) State Mandated Solid Waste Management Planning.--A 
     political subdivision of a state may exercise flow control 
     authority for municipal solid waste, and for voluntarily 
     relinquished recyclable material that is generated within its 
     jurisdiction, if State legislation enacted prior to January 
     1, 1990 mandated the political subdivision to plan for the 
     management of solid waste generated within its jurisdiction, 
     and if prior to January 1, 1990 the State delegated to its 
     political subdivisions the authority to establish a system of 
     solid waste handling, and if prior to May 15, 1994:
       ``(1) the political subdivision had, in accordance with the 
     plan adopted pursuant to such State mandate, obligated itself 
     through contract (including a contract to repay a debt) to 
     utilize existing solid waste facilities or an existing system 
     of solid waste facilities; and
       ``(2) the political subdivision is currently undertaking a 
     recycling program in accordance with its adopted waste 
     management plan to meet the State's solid waste reduction 
     goal of fifty percent; and
       ``(3) significant financial commitments have been made, or 
     bonds have been issued, a major portion of which, were used 
     for the construction of solid waste management facilities.''
